YERT's West Coast Screening Tour BEGINS
Dear YERTians,
Our West Coast Tour is taking shape, with screenings scheduled in over 15 cities, and we'd love for you to meet us in person along the way! Read on for more details...
At Long Last: YERT's West Coast Tour Details!
We're super excited about our upcoming tour - 7,000 miles and screenings all around the country, particularly in Washington State, Oregon, and California. Please take a look at our full and evolving tour schedule here, and tell your friends about these imminent screenings! We don't have a big PR team - just us, our hosts, and a couple volunteers - so your e-mail blasts to friends and family REALLY matter. Feel free to grab blurbs and pics from our online presskit.
SCREENING in Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday, 2/11, 4:30pm
This is a special double feature with our friends at the amazing Within Reach documentary. A double dose of road-tripping fun.

"Movie screening was (a) HIT in Woodstock IL at the Woodstock HS, we had about 40 adult and 50 students from a few different HSs. Sold all 10 DVDs and have a waiting list! They loved the movie and inspired several to sign up for Transition. Also spoke to a few more teachers that want to get more engaged with their students and activities. Very cool, had an awesome adrenalin rush." - Doug Close, McHenry Transition, IL
Our tour is supported primarily by DVD sales
